WHAT IS
Power of Attorney is a legal document that authorizes someone else to act on your behalf. It grants them the authority to make decisions and take actions that you would normally be able to do yourself.
TYPES OF POWER OF ATTORNEY
- General Power of Attorney: This grants broad authority to your agent to act on your behalf in most matters, including financial transactions, property management, and medical decisions.
- Specific Power of Attorney: This limits your agent’s authority to specific tasks or actions, such as managing your finances or making healthcare decisions.
WHY USE IT
- Travel: If you are traveling or unable to be physically present, a Power of Attorney allows someone else to handle your affairs.
- Incapacity: If you become incapacitated due to illness or injury, a Power of Attorney can ensure that your affairs are managed according to your wishes.
- Estate Planning: A Power of Attorney can be used as part of your estate planning to provide for your assets and affairs after your death.
